As "Sally" has died, we will take
up the too long silent pen, and
try to keep the ship afoat.
Our school closed last Monday, and
quite pleasant time was had. The
parents of the pupils came and brought
their dinners, and such a dinner as it
was; there was enough to satisfy the
most particular Of epicures; but We
have not space to enumerate all the
good things that were set before us.
The ladies of the district deserve es-
pecial credit for the manner in which
the dinner was gotten up. The ladies
who contributed most were: Mrs.
Gordon, Mrs. Morris, Mrs. Crabtree
and Mrs. Southland. After dinner the
pupils entertained us very pleasantly
by recitations, songs and select read
ings The teacher, Mrs. Cochran, did
herself credit by reading two or three
fine selections
Pete Raumaker has returned and
commenced work on his claim. He
brought better half with him. May
joy and prosperity attend them.
Mr.. Overhalser has completed his
we'll.
Mr.. Vanausdan is having we'll put
down.
Mr.. Cochran intends commencing
work on his place in few days.
Have johnson still has millet for
sale ut his old stand.
C. r. Neal has some very fine corn
for sale.
A very interesting literary is held
every Tuesday evening, in the school
house in district 80. The question for
last night was, Resolved, that the
prohibition law is detriment to the
general welfare of the people. Chief
disputants were: C. r. Neal and John
Frieze. The question was decided by
the judges in favor of the affirmative.
A contest has been put on Judge
Lacey's tree claim. We think it is all
through spite, for we believe the judge
has lived up to the law to the best of
his ability and means, and We think
the Judge will get through all right.

weight their roof down. No stock
persisted in these parts that we have
heard of.
Quite an enjoyable affair occurred
at the residence of NJ. d. Claypoole
the eth, in honor of their tenth we'd
ding anniversary. Numerous games
were played and corn was popped I'M
til time for supper, when the good la
dies spread such bountiful repast as
to tempt any Kansas sufferers appe
tite. They then seated the bride and
groom at the head of the table anC
proceeded to business. May there bt
many such surprises in this communi
